What's going on in your shop?

Still moving forward on this frame handle. Haven’t screwed it up yet, but there’s still time. Sure has been a learning experience.

Finished these two, don’t know what to call them, any ideas? Top one is for a purse. I sketch these out and just make them from perusing many knife shapes.

I’ve been wanting to try one of those straight razor shaped short choppers for a while, you inspired me, I just roughed one out and put pin holes in. Using 1.5” x3/16 1084 with my preferred handle shape and a slightly modified blade. Hope you don’t mind, yours is gorgeous

What happened to our build along, you cheated us. I might suggest doing the pool last though.

I made two more cleaver knives, 1084 and stabilized cedar elm. People really dig this shape.

I didn't mean to cheat y'all . I was worried that I would screw it up and have that documented. as to your suggestion about the pool being last , I have go agree ( I'm not a real big dope, ya know) . I have to wait till I finish the sauna and the bowling alley so I can lay out the pool. EVERYONE knows that. Sheesh.
I will document the interior closely. I mean , what could possibly go wrong there?

My brother is a knife nerd and carries a stupid expensive folder with a similar shape, slight sweep to the cutting edge, 1/4” thick blade, it’s a razor sharp behemoth. I’m going to give him the one I’m making. Cops dig knives lol

I missed this post, of course, my cousin who is a Chef wanted this shape and he loved it. I got the idea from his pocket knife.

Looking good Bruce. You’ll really enjoy that!

Picked up a cool toolbox today going to restore it best I can. Should end up looking really nice.

Nice! I need one of those

I finished the frame handle Bowie without screwing it up too badly. Lots of fit and finish bits that could have gone better. Quite a challenge and a great learning experience. The next one will be better. On to making the sheath. There are more pics in my gallery for those interested in seeing more.

That looks really good, particularly for your first frame handle.

Thanks! I was having trouble figuring out how to shape everything before attaching it. Couldn’t come up with a decent temporary solution, so ended up with several nicks and scratches I couldn’t correct to my liking.
